[hometext] => This poem was written as a challenge. LOTR, what else?
[bodytext] => The poem is a lament for the passing of the elves from Arda. You can find the tune this is based on at http://www.lostsoul.net/howards/midi/enya-midi/enyamidi/celts/sun.mid It is Sun in the Stream by Enya. (Listed with permission of the website.) The long journey now is closing Sails cross the Western sea In final bid to return, whence they came. Those who choose the way before them Will find those gone before. And the land left will n'er be the same. Passing forms in the mist, travelling on to the west. Gathering close the feel, of the land they love. Stopping for naught, knowing speed is the best, Yearning passage for the stars above. Weary souls that bear the burden Of wars fought, and battles done Now will know peace they've long been denied. Packing up their precious mem'ries, They look not to what they leave, Wanting only to ride the tide. What becomes of those left, we who cannot sail off? What are we to do when the light is gone? Eru's singing did bring 'round all that is here and now. Can we do less than add to the song? Peoples die, the new bear borning We mourn, regret the loss. What becomes of those, gone now, we knew? Their song ended, we hear singing, With the dawn of burning life, Heritage of the ones, sung anew. For all has been wrought by the hand of those gone, All we are, all we ever hope to be. Now is the time, to stand firm on our own Only time, only time will see. Gently tended through our childhood Fledglings now, we take to flight As we were meant to do, all along. Eru's blessings fall up on us Younger children of the stars But tears shed for those for which we long. Can we do less than add to the song?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
